Have you tried loading the latest AlphaBrowse jars from the trunk to see if that makes a difference? They've had some bugs fixed recently but should remain compatible with 1.3 if you just drop them in place of the old files:
https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/import/browse-indexing.jarhttps://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/trunk/solr/lib/browse-handler.jar
You'll have to rebuild the alphabrowse index after updating because sorting works differently now.
If you still see the same problem after updating, please let us know. Hopefully Mark will have some further suggestions.

Hi Zeno,
Could you also show us how your "topic2" browse is defined? I assume
that in index-alphabetic-browse.sh you would have added a line like:
build_browse "topic2" "topic2"
and there must also be a "<field>" in solr/biblio/conf/schema.xml for
the new "topic2" field. Could we see that definition?
The existing topic browse has a definition like this:
build_browse "topic" "topic_browse"
and in schema.xml that field is:
<field name="topic_browse" type="string" indexed="true" stored="false" multiValued="true"/>
The "string" type is important here because it ensures that any
punctuation characters in the headings are preserved during indexing.
Other field types can cause such characters to be dropped during
indexing, and that could explain the headings with zero counts that
you're seeing. It's a case of the browse handler finding a heading in
SQLite but not being able to cross-reference it to the bib records in
the Solr index.
Many thanks,
Mark

I found the error, it was in solr/biblio/conf/solrconfig.xml
The lines:
<lst name="topic2">
<str
name="DBpath">${solr.solr.home:./solr}/alphabetical_browse/topic2_browse.db</str>
<str name="field">topic_browse</str>
</lst>
MUST to be:
<lst name="topic2">
<str
name="DBpath">${solr.solr.home:./solr}/alphabetical_browse/topic2_browse.db</str>
<str name="field">topic2_browse</str>
</lst>
In fact check the configuration two time was not enough
Thank you very much
Bye
